To smooth or not to smooth that is the question
Mark and Terry
Raise and interesting restoration question about military vehicles, how good should the sheet metal finish be? In this case were the HUP had a long and productive life after military service the level of body finish and paint work is extremely appropriate. Just as the CMPs that were proudly used by garages were the quality of the sheet metal refitting was an example of the shops ability. But should smoothing out the welded seams of the standard production be the rule? Or filling in the dimples of the original spot welds? Doing an invisible seam on a panel where you are replacing rust then yes that to me is appropriate. Cheers Phil
